The Shekinah was a luminous cloud that rested above the altar in the place of worship and lit up the room. When the Babylonians destroyed the Temple, the Shekinah glory vanished. There was no Shekinah in the temples rebuilt later under Zerubbabel and Herod.

Found this sub topic kind of interesting as since coming into the Apostolic Faith have from the beginning heard that term "The Shekinah Glory" NEVER thought to question its origin. But now that you bring it up, found this link that shows the etymology of the word IN scripture. I will post the link and check it out .
